Rediffed the patch to apply to the current 0.9.1 release.
Additionally I've added a cpu definition that makes use of the 3dnow! flag.
With this patch I am able to load and run recent linux kernels compiled for
for the K7 32-bit architecture. Newer kernels test the cpu feature flags and
thus require certain feature flags to be present on the target cpu [1]. But
I didn't do further testing on the emulated instructions itself so far.
